This is the best of the Brumby stories I have read so far. Spring comes too early to the outback, bringing fast, deep floods. As Baringa tries to move his fillies to a safer place, Dawn slips and disappears into the flood. Desperate to find her, he seeks her in far places, fighting to survive and causing rumours of his death to circulate through the herds. Thowra, King of the Mountains, comes to investigate too, while Lightning only wants Baringa's beautiful fillies for himself.A great little adventure that pulls at your heart strings in places.
